Quitman County Elementary

Summary:

Quitman County Elementary is a public elementary school located in Georgetown, Georgia, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 210 students. The school is part of the Quitman County School District, which is ranked 202 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Quitman County Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Georgia elementary schools over the past several years, with a statewide ranking between 1100-1225 out of around 1,250 schools. The school has received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years, with a brief 1-star rating in 2015-2016 and 2013-2014. The school's proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, ranging from 0% to 20% in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 37% to 48.2% in ELA and 34.7% to 45.4% in Mathematics. Additionally, the school has a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating that the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

While Randolph County Elementary School and Clay County Elementary School, which also serve economically disadvantaged populations, have significantly higher academic performance than Quitman County Elementary, the latter has relatively high spending per student, ranging from $12,156 to $17,995 per student, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.6 to 12.1 students per teacher. This suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status and funding may be contributing to the persistent low performance at Quitman County Elementary, and addressing these underlying issues could be crucial in helping the school improve student outcomes.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
